Well Sadie, I will say this. In Chinese Medicine, semen is a very powerful healing agent, as are a women's sexual secretions (including menses, believe it or not). The Ancients held that an ounce of semen contained 9 months worth of Source Qi (which could be called the grains of sand in our lifes hourglass). One of the most powerful elixers (again, supposedly) was the mixture of semen and menses blood.

That being said, the article, and its *findings* are utterly uncouth and uncalled for. You would think they had better ways to spend tax money.

if, in fact, this were founded to be true, i'm sure there would be plenty of women out there openly performing, especially those who are prone to breast cancer.

i know of one woman, in her 50's who loves to swallow and that's all. she has no desire for any other form of sex and you literally have to pull her off when done. it's like she's addicted to it. (however, i believe this to be more of a psychological issue than a health issue.)
